North described Casey, who died May 6, as his "personal friend and adviser" who "never once disagreed with any of the things that I was doing." Instead, Casey told him "how they might be done better." The two "communed" regularly, North explained, in a relationship that he understood was not to be "something that was publicly bandied about." North did not, it was apparent, even tell his chain-of-command bosses, Poindexter and former National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane, how much influence Casey had over the activities they ostensibly supervised...
Colorado's defense for its tough stance on AIDS takes this argument even further. Since last month physicians have been required by law to violate the doctor-patient relationship by reporting the names of those who test positive for the virus; the state then makes an active effort to inform sexual contacts. There is legal precedent for such measures. In a 1977 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a New York State law that called on pharmacists to turn in the names of customers with prescriptions for narcotics popular in the drug underworld...
...found their way into the Constitution's basic text. On the whole, that original, unamended text is a model Enlightenment tract, carefully checking and balancing as if in imitation of the moderate universe in which 18th century Europe trusted.

If the "man" Pope considered in his "Essay" needed a body of laws, the American Constitution would do just fine...

If some leading congressional Democrats and their labor-union allies are successful, companies will have to pay a higher minimum wage, provide a Government-mandated menu of health-care benefits for all workers and offer unpaid leave and guaranteed job security to employees who leave work temporarily when they become parents. Other bills would set up new rules governing unionization, plant closings and on-the-job safety...
...bemused grin, an air of higher enlightenment and a condescending kiss-off: "Really too complicated to go into in depth." Certain words get great play: compassion, creativity, generosity, grace, humor, kindness, love, sanity, scholarship. It is, say religious scholars, more of a method than a religion. The relationship between teacher and student is similar to that between psychiatrist and patient, goes one definition. There has to be full trust, otherwise nothing is accomplished. "It's a particular type of religious devotion," says a former student of Rinpoche's, "where you surrender all your critical faculties to a guru." Whatever...
